a favourite scene of the poetic legends. Paleovuni is the highest summit 
of the HeHconian range. Leake fixes the Grrove of the Muses at the 
present church of Saint Nicholas, at the foot of Mount Marandali, one 
of the summits of Helicon. 
^ These fountains or springs are very difficult to identify, but Hippo- 
crene, or the " Horse-Spring " (said to have been produced by Pegasus 
striking the ground with his feet), was probably at the present Maka- 
riotissaj while Aganippe is the fountain that flows midway between 
Paleo-panaghia and Pyrgaki. 
2 This place was originally a member of the Boeotian confederacy, but 
joined the Athenians, though it did not become an Attic Demus. Leake 
thinks that its ruins are those seen at MyupoU. Ross thinks that it 
stood to the east of Ghyfto-kastro, while other writers are of opinion that 
it stood 'more to the west, near the modern village of Kundara.

espoused the cause of king Perseus. Its remains are seen about a mile 
from the village of Mazi, on the road from Thebes to Lebadsea.

^ Distant twenty stadia from Orchomenus. Leake places it at the 
modern IzamaH, Forchhammer at Avro-Kastro. 
^ Its site is uncertain. Leake supposes it to be at Paleokastro, between 
the north end of Lake HyHca and the foot of Mount Palea. TJlrichs places 
it at the south end of the lake. ^ The modern Kakosia occupies its site. 
^ At the foot of Mount Cithaeron. Leake places it eastward of Kat- 
zula, at the foot of the rocks there. 
^ Leake identifies it with the rmns on the torrent of Plataniki, below 
the momitain of Siamata. Pausanias says it was situate seven stadia 
beyond Teumessus, and at the foot of Hypatus, now Siamata. 
On Lake Copais. The modern village of TopoUa occupies its site. 
The waters of the Cephisus here burst forth ffom their subterra- 
neous channel.
